Wikipedia can, in fact, be considered one of the most reliable sources available. Sometimes you might even wonder if there’s anything that Wikipedia doesn’t know.

Customers are using the Internet to share their opinions on businesses, products and services. They’re turning to sites like Google+ Local and TripAdvisor to let others know about both positive and negative experiences, and other people are turning to these sites to read these reviews in order to help them make a better purchasing decision.

As a business, you cannot simply ignore these sites and these reviews – you need to embrace them and use them to your advantage. If you don’t think that online review sites are worth your time, the following are three ways that online reviews can benefit your business.

Know What People Think About Your Business

Customers are using these sites more than ever, and they can help you learn how your brand is being perceived by real customers. Perform a search for your business on these sites and see what comes up. You may find that your customers are very happy with your business, or you may find that they’re unhappy. If you don’t use these sites to find this information, you won’t know how people truly feel.

Many customers turn to these sites because it allows them to share their thoughts and feelings anonymously. Customers are more willing to turn to these review sites to share their opinions than you let you know directly, so using these sites gives you insight into your customers and allows you to make the necessary changes needed to keep all your customers happy.

Grab a Hold of Your Online Reputation

Online review sites allow you to better manage your online presence. First, having your business listed on these sites can greatly improve your search engine rankings. Claim your business on the appropriate sites and fill out your profile with as much information as possible. Now, when a customers performs a search for your business, they will be led to these sites as well as your own website, blog or social media account.

The sites also allow you to comment back to those who left a review. You can apologize to customers who had a negative experience. Not only will this make them feel better since you took the time to apologize directly, but it will also show other customers who come across the post that you will do whatever it takes to keep your customers happy.

Use it as an Advertising Platform

Customers use these sites to hear the reviews of other people, and they use these reviews to help influence their decision. When your page has real information and has received reviews, it serves as a marketing platform for your business. Customers are now using this site to determine whether or not they’re going to frequent your business, so you should think of these sites as an extension of your marketing.

Online review sites also allow you to become an advertiser and have your ads placed on the site. Your ads will be placed on pages that are similar to yours, allowing your ads to be seen by people looking for businesses that offer your products or services. For example, if you’re a restaurant, your ad may appear on the page of your competitors. Now, when customers are reading reviews on your competition, they will see an ad for your business, which allows you compete for the customer’s business.

So before you think that online review sites are a waste of time, realize that they can give you insight into how your brand is perceived, allow you to manage what’s being said about your company and promote your business and offerings to those who use the site.

Once Again, Happy Easter from the team here at ColinKlinkert.com 🙂

Surfing the internet you find some amazing videos. I was reading the latest news on Rwanda and the shocking events of 1994… when 800,000 people were slaughtered in the space of 100 days. The world can be a shocking place, and we are simply so fortunate despite how depressed or unhappy we might be with our current situation, many have it a lot worse.

I recently wrote a post about an amazing story of the last WW1 soldier that just recently passed away, aged 110, and how much he lived through and achieved  in his life….

Well today I want to show you a video from a young guy from Korea, who had a shocking childhood but has an amazing talent and sings Ennio Morricone amazingly well. It is a great motivation when next time you feel the odds are stacked against you… Suck it up and take it on… This is worth the 8 minutes!

To Your Success in Business & Health in Life,

P.S – Lets live life to the fullest and to the best of our ability! We owe it to the people who are less fortunate than us and who would simply love to have what we have.
I am challenging myself, come and join me!

The last known Living Combat Veteran from World War 1 (yes… ONE) has just passed away, aged 110! Claude Choules was fighting in World War one in the UK aged just 14. Born at the turn of the century in 1901, he lived through the whole 20th century and the first decade of the 21st! Not only did he fight in WW1, but he fought in WW2 as well. Living through both major wars in modern history, as an active part in it, he hated war and felt it was a waste of resources

What do you think he felt about where the world was going? This is a guy who has lived through it all, seen cigarettes cost 1penny a pack, and seen amazing, motivational leaders… as well as the current crop we call ‘leaders’. He lived with his wife for 76 years until she passed, aged 98! He has seen his Daughter live to 84, and his grandkids the age of my parents. Mr Choules, who was active and dancing past the age of 100, took a creative writing course in his 80’s and wrote his autobiography, aged 108…

It is a life to be remembered, and to use for reflection in our own lives. Take inspiration from this, take understanding and percpective on life from this and most importantly, feel proud that there are people who have come and gone, that fought for what we now take for granted. Please reflect on how lucky we all actually are, to be here, to be free and to be able to communicate with eachother via the power of social media!

Mr. Choules proves that nothing is impossible, and you are never too young (going to war at 14) or too old (writing a book aged 108) to take life by the horns and achieve something special!

Have a wonderful weekend and try to spend it with loved ones. The thing I took out of watching this video is the happiness he seemed to have, despite what must have been a very hard, and at times, very amazing life!
